Article Synopsis
- Fibromyalgia (FM) is a chronic condition characterized by widespread pain, fatigue, and decreased physical function, affecting patients' mental quality of life (QoL).
- A study of 204 FM patients explored how coping styles and the quality of relationships with spouses impact both physical and mental QoL, revealing that relationship quality significantly affects mental QoL but not physical QoL.
- The findings suggest that addressing coping strategies and relationship dynamics in treatment could enhance care for FM patients by improving their overall quality of life.
